Electrical Engineering Technology

When you study electrical engineering technology, you study the lifeblood of today’s technology: electronics and computers. Electronics technology is a part of most everything society relies on, from air conditioning to airplanes, and from trains to televisions. And because technology is constantly evolving, you will be engaged in learning methods that will help you adapt to and embrace new technologies and their uses.

The electrical engineering principles you will learn can be applied in a wide range of careers, including communications, controls, power electronics, technical management. Our graduates have played a part in scientific advancements in a variety of industries, including biomedical, green energy, transportation, communications, entertainment and manufacturing. They have impacted lives and improved everyday uses of technology.

“Project-based learning teaches more than mere knowledge of the course topic. It teaches the step-by-step process from start to finish, and it teaches teamwork. I enjoy building stuff, and I worked on an applied computer vision system with optics to track moving objects.”

What it's like to be a TECHIE!
